A terminal connection structure for a flat circuit belt includes a flexible flat cable (FFC) (21) and a plurality of connection terminals (22) fixed to the end portion of the FFC 21. The FFC comprises a plurality of conductive strips (23) arranged in parallel to each other at a predetermined interval, and a pair of base films (24) sandwiching the conductive films. Each connection terminal corresponds to one of the conductive strip. The connection terminal has a base plate (28) and projections (31) rising from the longitudinal edges of the base plate so as to face each other with the base plate between them. The projections pierce through the associated conductive strip. The tips of the facing projections are bent and caulked each other. Each projection has a groove (31A) in its inner face, and the edges of the conductive film are pressed into the grooves of the facing projections.
